supreme court as the chief justice and was responsible for brown versus board of education, the integration rules, and many other progressive rulings of the supreme court. dwight hiaasen hower once said the worst decision he ever made was to appoint earl warren to the supreme court. >> one of the people on your list was saul linsky. a lot of tea party groups were actually contributing copies of his work to his minute to understand how to organize. what is saul alinsky's true -- >> newt gingrich is an idiot when he says saul is un-american. he believed in democracy. he believed that people, ordinary people, should have a voice. he was the founder of community organizing. what is community organizing? if you believe sarah palin it's not much. but if you believe the thousands of people around the country that are fighting for better schools, safer streets, for cleaner environment, for better jobs, that's what community organizers do and saul alinsky wrote the textbook on how to be a good community organizer, how to be a good activist, how to be a good citizen and it's not surprising to me that

let's develop more stars in education. let's invest in our teachers... ...so they can inspire our students. let's solve this. >>> the coolest guy in the world right now is this guy. >> jumper away. u jumper away. >> that's felix baumgartner who yesterday jumped out of a helium balloon that was 24 miles above the earth. he was in free fall for 4 minutes and 19 seconds during which time his body hurtling to earth faster than the speed of sound. but his parachute opened and he touched down likely and walked away. why did he do it? probably for the same reason george mallory said when asked why he climbed mount everest, because it's there. baumgartner said on his website, it says everyone has limits, not everyone accepts them. it's not that there's no fear in him or in george mallory or in fi philippe who walked on a wire strung between the two hours of the world trade center. they feel a compulsion to attack fear and they refused to be constrained by it. do-to-do daredevil things is to laugh in the face of self-preservation a

it's fun and a little educational. what is the point? >> really educational, right? it's really fun. no. the truth is i want people to focus on the economic issues. it's all about the debates. the country does face a lot of really serious fiscal issues. if not immediately, although we have created this artificial crisis in the fiscal cliff. it's really boring. people don't want to necessarily focus on how to make entitlement spending work. what do i care about 30 years if i'm 50? maybe it doesn't matter. so the economic team is really important to fixing this. and it's my view basically whoever wins, whether it's obama or romney, is basically going to have one big docier flopped in their lap. it's either we've gone over the fiscal cliff and have you to deal with it in reverse, or we've kicked the can down the road and done a patch that gets us to july 4th to be patriotic and we have another physical cliff to not go over. to do that you have to reach across the aisle and work with democrats and republicans to get something done. so that, to me, is sort of day one even
